Sabudana Sevai Kheer

Sabudana Sevai Kheer in Marathi

Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2 persons

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Sabudana (Sago)
2 tbsp Sevai
1/2 tsp pure ghee
3 cup Milk
1/4 cup Condensed Milk (Sweetened)
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
Almond Cashewnuts slices

Method:
1) Soak Sabudana in water and drain all the water after a minute. Keep covered for atleast 3 hours.
2) Once sabudana is soaked, proceed with the recipe. Heat a thick bottom pan over medium low heat. Add 1/2 tsp ghee. Add sevai and roast over medium heat. Keep stirring until sevai turn into light pink color.
3) Once sevai turned into light pink color, add milk and cook over medium heat. Stir from the bottom to avoid burning. Cook for 5 minutes.
4) Add soaked Sabudana and cook over medium heat. After 2-3 minutes, add condensed milk, cardamom powder, and Almond slices. Also, keep stirring Kheer so that it won't burn at the bottom.
5) After few minutes Sabudana become translucent and start floating on the top. This is a sign that sabudana are almost cooked. Boil over medium for about 3-4 minutes.
Serve lukewarm as dessert.

Tips:
1) By adding condensed milk, you don't have to add sugar and Kheer gets the required thickness in less time. If you don't have condensed milk, use 4 cups of normal milk instead of 3 cups. Add sugar to taste (approx 3 to 4 tbsp). Also, after adding sevai boil for few minutes more.
2) The consistency of this kheer should not be very thick or very thin.
3) Serve this kheer when it's lukewarm. It does not taste good cold because Sabudana soak the milk and get swollen and mushy.
4) Add saffron while boiling the milk. It will give nice flavor and color to the Kheer.
